More Top Lists

Staying within luxurious surrounds often makes a trip seem more special, not to mention more comfortable. Melbourne has many luxurious options but here are the top ten.

The Crown Metropol is Melbourne's newest luxurious hotel and might just be the most decadent. Its prime position in Southbank is ideal for those that want to be in the center of everything. Nearby, the Langham is world renowned and offers arguably the best spa center and buffet lunch in town.

The Hotel Sofitel is located in the "French" part of Collins St, in between designer clothing labels and luxurious accessories. Its main draw card is the wonderful view from each room, as the hotel towers over the city. The service is also outstanding.

The Prince Hotel in St Kilda exudes artistic innovation, style and comfort and is ideal for those that want a more intimate stay. The recently renovated Grand Hyatt has prime position in Collins St and features an excellent restaurant and bar, that the locals have adopted as their own.

The Park Hyatt Melbourne is a worthy third, as it is especially designed to offer a more intimate atmosphere, in an East Melbourne location that is perfect for discovering the CBD and Fitzroy surrounds.

The Historic Windsor Hotel is Melbourne's grandest hotel and exudes the service and surrounds of yesteryear.

Crown Towers is opulence personified and is great for those wanting to be close to the Crown entertainment complex, while Hilton on the park is located in much gentler surrounds next to Fitzroy gardens and is ideal for those that want to be close to the CBD but not within it.
